People wear masks for many different reasons
like trying to be frightening on Halloween-
They used to wear masks during train robberies
we were ordered to wear them during covid-19.
Some wear one for protection while working a job
welders and firemen and your antifa mobs
they used to where masks while burning crosses.
A black mask is required for the grim reaper
and the status quo for funeral pyre grievers-
Knights wore them while protecting the honor of queens
others wear masks to cloak their chronic unhappy-
Jim carry wore a green mask and made us all laugh
a young man donned one during a suicide attack.

The duo runs from the law and evades the police
Their wild crime spree did not slow or cease
Bank robberies gave them half million each
Their next target is jewelry store at Redondo Beach

I'm wearing the blue,
yes, proudly, and don't prejudge me
and I won't prejudge you.
Some nights I sleep swirling in
nightmares,
seeing the blood of victims, and
I still very much care.
I grope for the lamp on my nightstand,
my headache becomes a tight band,
my wife awakened, softly talks me down,
I would love to leave this "toddlin' town."
Brother, sister police officers agree,
that our job puts a strain on our families,
I come home from tragedies such as
gun violence, child abuse, accidents,
robberies,
yet, I'm accused of being
cold and unfeeling,
when the hurt closes in and is
joy stealing.
Yes, I wear the blue,
my life, my heart is of rescue,
take a ride with me to see,
some of the human acrimony,
Yet, at the precinct it's comforting to receive,
flowers and cookies from some caring
people reaching out,
that's what gratitude is about,
it helps after long hours,
and when some distressed strangers
say, "Thank you for responding to my call,"
it can, at times-
relieve me from the pall.
We need to be more understood,
we need more cooperation from the
neighborhoods,
after all, it's for all our good. ~

Comfy cat did not watch the news.
Did not worry about robberies or home invasions.
Slept soundly through sirens, whistles and police chases.
Rolled around the bed in happy uninhibited ways.
Luckier than any human in history.

Why is America so ty…
Why must this Country hate it’s people so much?
Why do I have all these questions about how ty this place is…
America… one of the main Country’s that you’ll see have school shootings, robberies, mass murders…
Why is this Country filled with Racism, Homophobia, Transphobia, Etcetera,
Because if god loved us he would have made us all the same right?!
He would have made us all white people! All white women and men with perfect bodies and blonde hair and blue eyes!
He would have made us all straight with no curves, no zigzags, no twists, no turns, no short-cuts…
God loves us… Just not enough to make us love each other
Because everyone is perfect;
Black men, Black women, White men, White women, Gay men, Lesbian women, Bisexual beings, Everyone is special in their own way.
And for some reason human beings can not except that people don’t need to all be the same.
So why, If god loved us as much as we think he does than he should put more time into making us love each other and ourselves instead of putting time into figuring which dogs breeds to make next…

Leftism is corrupt,
abuses all our laws,
if you don’t think as they do
they’ll grasp at any straw
to punish your with charges,
they’ll make it up whole cloth,
then just drag it all out
until your money’s lost.
All the while ignoring
scores of murder, rape, and theft,
done by those they favor,
so do not hold your breath.
Our cities full of homeless,
gang-bangers, robberies,
folks do drugs in broad daylight,
all the businesses flee,
yet they all turn a blind eye,
those deaths do not help them,
but if you’re center or right
they’ll throw you in the penn
for putting memes online,
since they all hate free speech,
lock you up, deny rights,
while ‘tolerance’ they preach.
And always protecting
the crimes that they commit,
the pedo lust, wire fraud,
and other monstrous sh-t.
Values only power,
see the state as might jaws,
they’re enemies of justice,
they’re foes of rule of law.

For my friend,
James Forte
Being an innocent child,
far away in the mountains
running through the woods
beside streams,
looking at the starry sky,
I have wondered myself:
who am I ?
I went to schools
to learn,
I went to churches
to pray…
Living there
in the village between the mountains,
with people of faith
and respect
I didn't know
than only the good...
Being a teenager,
from there,
from the high mountains
I watched
at the distant
the city...
I saw then:
lies,
robberies,
hatred…
just like Jesus
saw
in the Temple
from Jerusalem...
Late in the evening,
I returned
at the little wooden church
from the village
and in my prayer
I understood the God
why
he didn't make us
immortals…

Bonnie Parker was obsessed with fame.
She finally got it in the end, when her body was shown to the public.
Riddled with bullets.
I doubt that is what she was hoping for.
Clyde Barrow had kept them out of trouble for years
Thanks to his keen sixth sense, of where to go, and when to go.
His body was right there alongside the love of his life.
I imagine he had no idea his body would be displayed like that.
They were public enemies one and two for a while.
Their crime scenes were stair steps to each other.
Increasingly dangerous robberies occurred, as their confidence grew.
The public was totally infatuated with the robber lovers.
Perhaps this is why the G-men displayed their bodies for all to see.
Hoping to dissuade the next potential Bonnie and Clyde.
To this day there are books and movies written about them.
The public has a pathological fascination for this kind of thing.
No idea why.

America has always been noted for its Wild West and gun slingers.
Stage coach robberies and killing Indians was also in center of attention. Killing off entire herds of Bison and Buffalo was also alarming.
Bonny and Clyde, Valentine's Day Massacre and Patty Hurst were repulsive. Masochistic tendencies and being prejudiced and discriminating are bad.
Trump said that he is not prejudiced. There is my token black in the crowd. Senator Elizabeth Warren was called Pocahontas by Trump.
Finally, Walmart and Dick's and Fred Meyer are restricting and/or doing away with sales of assault weapons. The hand writing is on the wall regarding weapons sales. The Florida High School is sincerely fighting against weapons. Soon, assault rifles will be completely off of the market. Look at how many massacres it took to get where we are?

The Locomotive
The mighty Locomotive,
Was the muscle of its day.
Moving freight and passengers,
Down a steel highway.
It’s beauty and it’s romance,
Made headlines near and far.
Train robberies and train wrecks,
It had become a star.
The Locomotive was thought to be,
Man's answer to the world.
Until new and better innovations,
Soon would be unfurled.
As all things do there come a time,
It certainly looked for sure.
That the mighty Locomotives day,
Was going to be no more.
It had all but died away,
Till it was born again.
The Diesel took the place of Steam,
New life it had regained.
It still hauls freight as always,
That will never end
And passengers get more scenic rides
Across this majestic land.
The mighty Locomotive,
May not be the star these days.
But it will be a long-time coming,
Before it fades away.

Always grew up in poverty
Moms rented the space and property
At times we struggled and seeing her in pain always bothered me
Honestly
I thought about doing robberies
Because I wanted to bring in more broccoli constantly
Even if I never possibly
Had a chance to ever win the lottery
But I knew that would probably
Break her heart apart, which was wrong of me
So I tried to do it responsibly
And properly
But I haven't really hit the mark, due to too much monotony
Does it make me crazy?
I don't know maybe
It's all good in the hood
If you don't ever want to accept my apology
I'll just continue on my odyssey
Treating others with respect and equality
As I move vertically and horizontally
I've worked with a fair share
Of commodities
But never mahogany
To tell you the truth, I've always had an interest in archaeology
And so many other things including astrology
In space there remains anomalies
Amid a galaxy full of objects moving at high speed velocities
Scientists using newer and better technology
With excitement and curiosity
Looking to find some kind of new life form or colony

I've seen a terrible crime, a murder in fact
Ruthless, ugly, menacing; an unpleasant struggle,
She was an unsuspecting victim, strangled, from behind.
It didn't take too long, and then she was gone.
I have been a witness to many robberies.
Some were fascinating to watch, others quite boring.
Still, I like it when they get away.
Then there are blurbs for necessaries and desires.
These blurbs are much louder, as I am mesmerized.
Crap, now I want a burger and a beer.
With a thin piece of electronics,
I eagerly surf the channels, I can see many wonders,
While sitting in my chair,
I am there, without going anywhere.

Imagine a day with a “happy” six o'clock news
No killings, no robberies, only news to amuse
Dreaming... you bet
As silly as it gets
If this ever happens, time to tighten your screws
